It wasn’t an AI trend that pleasantly surprised me at Ministry of Awesome’s Electrify event this week.
Or a growth strategy.
Or a funding insight.

It was something much more human.

As I listened to founders share their stories, I was surprised by how many of the co-founders being referred to were also their life partners ☺️

For some people, working with your husband or wife would sound like a terrible idea!! 🤪🤯😱😂

For us, and many others however, it actually works.

Different strengths and different perspectives, held together by shared values and a shared vision.

Here’s to all the other couples out there building something special together 👏🏼👏🏼

I genuinely loved discovering we’re not nearly as unusual as I thought 😆🙌🏼

Rüdi’s first started with 1) a Whangamatā basement and 2) this hand-operated pastry brake we found on Facebook Marketplace ✨

We have so much to thank that old-school machine for 🩵🩵

It allowed us to grow organically - laminating thousands upon thousands of sheets of pastry while we slowly added equipment as funds allowed.

Incredibly reliable, there was only one time it nearly let us down…

When it launched itself off the bench and snapped one of its feet clean off 😅

Right in the middle of peak pop-up season in Whanga, too 😳😩

We genuinely thought we were done for 🫣😭

Thankfully, Fern’s brother came to the rescue and repaired it for us. Crisis averted!!🙏🏼🥳

It even came with us when we opened Rüdi’s at .

We never thought we’d have space for an electric laminator… but sheesh, did Stefan’s arms thank him when we finally squeezed one in 💪🏼😂

Now officially retired, we’re taking a moment to honour our aqua-blue laminating friend and all the good times we shared 🥐🩵🥰

Sourdough baking workshops🥖🍞

Did you know that before opening Rüdi’s , we used to run sourdough workshops?

We’re thinking it might be time to bring them back…. 👀

Flour + water + salt + sourdough starter.

Hands in dough.

Learning the skills to make real bread✨

Our Passionfruit & Coconut Pain au Chocolat is actually INSANE 🤤🥥🔥

Joining our Biscoff Twice-Baked Croissant in the cabinet, this beauty is here for a good time - not a long time.

Crazy, right?

To think…
Masayo, from Japan 🇯🇵
and
Fern, from New Zealand 🇳🇿
have both lived in Lille 🇫🇷 - a beautiful French city right on the Belgian 🇧🇪 border.

There you find little cafés spilling onto cobbled streets and every coffee arrives with a speculoos biscuit (now better known internationally as Biscoff) ☕️🤎

It’s amazing how certain flavours can instantly transport you back to a place you love.

So here’s to our new Biscoff twice-baked croissant - a little nod to those lovely Flemish memories.

Caramelised, buttery, and filled with Biscoff goodness.

Available in store now 🤎💙

Bon app! 😋
